The M.S. program is available on a thesis and non-thesis option. A minimum of 33 semester hours is required for completion of the M.S. program. Students who select the thesis option will be required to complete at least 6-9 hours of 810:299 thesis research. Students who select the non-thesis option must complete a 6-hour software development project. A minimum of eighteen (18) hours of 200-level (or above) course work is required. For both the thesis and non-thesis options, students must pass an oral defense of their final project.
Courses in the student's areas of concentration provide in-depth knowledge of a professional sub-discipline. These 15 hours consist of 9 hours within computer science (excluding both computer science education and research credits) and 6 cognate hours from outside computer science. These hours must be approved by the Graduate Committee. However, students who have a bachelor's degree in an area outside of Computer Science may take all 15 hours of their concentration-area hours within Computer Science.
Students in this program are exempt from general limitations on the number of hours of research credit. Master of Science Computer Science programs of study may include 6 hours or more of 810:299 research credit. However, the number of hours greater than 6 hours must be in addition to the minimum 33 hours required for the degree.
